Daphne Glorian, die Frau des US-Weinimporteurs Eric Salomon, keltert seit 1992 Ihre legendären Cuvees aus Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon und Syrah. 

Wine Advocate # 188 - Apr 2010 - Jay Miller - Laurel 2007 - 94 - Drink: 2013 - 2027 $48-$50 The 2007 Laurel, a blend of 65% Garnacha and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, is deep purple-colored with a bouquet of wet stone, Asian spices, black cherry compote, and incense. Dense and sweet on the palate with tons of spice, it is super-concentrated, rich, and smooth-textured. Give this lengthy effort 2-3 years of additional cellaring and drink it from 2013 to 2027. Laurel is produced from the young vines of Clos Erasmus as well as from the results of a triage in the vineyard and cellar of the flagship wine.
